About LOVE IN MUSIC

Love in Music is a Los Angeles–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in May 2007 that provides free classical-instrument lessons and mentorship to underserved children through volunteer instructors. The organization operates three branches (Los Angeles, South Bay, and Santa Ana) and runs weekly Saturday classes, student recitals, and community concerts. Since its founding, Love in Music reports having reached more than 1,000 children and mobilized a large corps of musically trained volunteers. Recent activity includes annual concerts and branch recitals (including a June 1, 2024 annual concert and an 18th‑anniversary concert in 2025) and regular branch-level programming; the organization’s most recent IRS filing (fiscal year ending March 2024) shows roughly $70k in revenue, expenses of about $48.7k, and net assets in the low $60k range. Programs supply free instruments and structured weekly lessons (violins, piano and other orchestral/woodwind/brass instruments depending on branch), run a volunteer mentorship program, and recognize volunteer service with community awards and (when available) the President’s Volunteer Service Award framework.
